About the FTDIboard PCB

FTDIboard is an open source PCB design by sneakylizard123-4, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 50 × 75 mm, with 60 components from 22 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the USBLC6-2SC6, TLV75733PDBV and FT232RL. By type, the board carries 25 resistors, 13 diodes, 10 capacitors, 3 ICs, 3 transistors and 3 connectors.

It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.

From the project

FTDIboard is a small USB-to-UART interface that uses the FT232RL and a switchable 3.3V/5V logic rail.

FTDIboard: common questions

How big is the FTDIboard PCB?

The FTDIboard measures 50 × 75 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the FTDIboard?

60 components, from 22 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the FTDIboard design files?

From the sneakylizard123-4/FTDIboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the FTDIboard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with sneakylizard123-4. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
